Build Muscle Faster than 90% of People in the Gym - Dr. Brad Schoenfeld’s Volume Strategy

TBH this just sounds like another example of OVER thinking something in hopes of MAYBE POSSIBLY getting a very miniscule amount more better results that may only be detectable by some super analytical space age technology computer showing one billionth of a difference compared to someone who just hits the gym consistently on a regular basis, trains hard to near failure, has their nutrition, sleep, recovery in check, (but isn't analy obsessed with it.) and lives their life. The bottom line is Just workout consistently, and as hard as you can, and challenge yourself to push your limits. Eat healthy, get plenty of protein, and sleep. It's not rocket science.

5 x 5 workout 5sets of 5 squats, dead lift, shoulder press. bent row, incline bench press twice per week. med to heavy weight. two days rest between

What an amazing wealth of knowledge! A huge thank you to Thomas and Dr. Schoenfeld!

takeaways;- 1- Choose a volume target: start around 10–20 sets/week per muscle group. 2- Spread volume across 2–3 sessions for better recovery and performance. 3- Monitor how your body responds—adjust upward or downward based on progress, fatigue, and recovery.

59 mins summary answer errrr yeah it might work 😅

I do a push day till failure, rest 3-4 days, pull to failure, rest 3-4 days. Repeat and eat.

Thanks, Dr. Schoenfeld, for breaking this down so clearly! I was surprised to learn that acute cortisol from workouts can actually aid growth, while chronic stress is the real culprit. The 10–20 sets per muscle group per week guideline makes total sense, and splitting that volume across multiple sessions seems like a game-changer. Have any of you experimented with different volume splits? What worked best for your gains and recovery? 💪🏼😊

Great conversation, a little hard to follow at my age of 73. My common sense take-away: develop a weekly routine, eat right, sleep well, supplement your diet, don't overdo it, stay hydrated, keep your mind right, and love on your family as much as you can between sets, and last but certainly not least, try and find the good in the world, it makes everything else in life work synergistically! P.S., Dr. Brad Schoenfeld looks and sounds like Dennis Hopper.

How many reps per set? How long of time is each rep? Does total amount of time the real factor? How close to or going to failure is a factor for each set or for the sets per workout?

Tem que ter tensão, tem muita coisa envolvida tbm. Ele tem muito conhecimento
